HANS HANSON COMES
TO GET OUT OF ARMY
1
HEN CHANGES MIND
GH SCHOOL
EUGENEHI
OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13. 1918
THREE NEW TEACHERS
Hans Hanson came clear from As
toria Monday to cancel his naturalisa
tion petition. Formerly a resident of
Denmark, he suddenly found out when
the ago limits were raised for army
service, that he misht have to light
for Uncle Sam. Hence his quick
journey to Oregon City. After being
advised that the matter would be
turned over to the Naturalisation De
partment at Washington, Hanson
changed his mind.
Hanson is an employe on the gov
ernment boat Chinook. He Informed
Clerk Harrington very frankly that
he had been reading the papers and
had learned that a citizen of a neut
ral country did not have to fight, un
less ha had filed for citizenship pa
pers. He remembered that two years
ago he wanted to become an American
citizen and had filed here, and he de
cided it would be a simple matter to
cancel his papers and keep away
from the firing line.
When It was explained that he must
file his request for cancellation in
writing, stating the reasons therefore
and the matter would be sent to
Washington for such action as the
department might see fit to make,
Hanson changed his mind and decided
to let his petition stand.
Clackamas county's war depart
ment will be enlarged at once, to
meet the ever growing demands fol
lowing the new registration Thurs
day. Amusements were made with
the war department Tuesday to place
at least two limited service men In
the local office, which will be moved
upstairs into a larger room, adjoin
ing the district attorney's office.
Professor John Mason has beeu
chosen to assist with the work as
one of the clerks, and the other will
announced as soon as confirmed
by the war department. Professor
Mason was Just ready to embark to
Eugene, where he has a position with
the Eugene high schooUwhen the call
came, and he immediately notified the
board he would report whenever
wanted. It Is expected that the office
will be moved upstairs by the latter
part of the week.
FANCIER LEAVES OLD
LI
Anna Morrow, who jresides Bear
Linn's Old Mill, was in Oregon City
Monday. She is planning to dispose
of her White Leghorn chickens and
stock, and will make her home in
Portland. The White Leghorns have
done well at the Morrow farm, many
eggs being sold in Portland markets
tor which the highest prices have
been paid. The average number
eggs from 96 hens has been 45 dozen
per week, and one of the features of
this laying strain is these birds have
been good producers. Thle is one of
the women of Clackamas county, who
has been milking six cows, and also
caring for her Leghorns besides do
ing her household duties.
Anna Morrow has been a diligent
worker in the Linn Mill section for
the past two years, and is now to take
up city life for a time.

"I came in to ctalm my exemptions,"
stated a sood looking Oregon City
woman, accompanied by six young
sters, as she entered Clerk Harring
ton's war office Monday afternoon.
The woman, whose name the board
would not divulge, had been told to
claim any exemptions her husband
might have to war service, before
Thursday, September 12 registration
day. She led her whole family hubby
excepted into the clerks office as
"Exhibit A." When told her husband
would be allowed to make any claims
necessary after registration day, she
smiled and marched her "exemptions"
out of the court house.

of the farmers generally throughout
this county is better than ever before.

MILWAUKIE, Sept. 6. MontroBe
M. Ringler, manager of Riverside park
at Milwaukie, was fined $250 by City
Recorder Matthews at Milwaukie yes
terday morning on his plea of guilty
to charges of operating a dance hall
without a permit.
The pavilion at Riverside park in
the ante-prohibition days was used as
a roadhouse known as the Friars' club.
Charging that many people who made
the old Friars' club notorious were
stin frequenting the place after Ring
ler acquired control the city council
passed an ordinance requiring per
mits for operation. The council refus
ed Ringler a permit and closed the
place last May.
On advice of his attorneys, who de
clared the council had exceeded its
charter rights in passing such an ordi
nance, Ringler arranged with the Mil
wauKie volunteer fire department with
the approval, he said, of the mayor, to
give two dances, one on Sunday and
one Labor day. During the Sunday fes
tivities a city marshal arrested Ringler
and closed up the hall, taking him be
fore Recorder Matthews, who released
him on $250 bail.
Representing the city of Milwaukie
at the hearing was John McCourt,
member of the Fosdick commission
United States Attorney Bert E. Haney
being also present.
Rlngler's plea of guilty was on two
counts, one charging failure to obtain
a permit for his hall, and another, fall
ure to have a permit for the dance
given in it. The fine was $100 for one
and $150 for the other. A tentative
sentence of 10 days in jail was eus
pended on the plea of Rlngler's coun
sel.
Many war gardens ot the city plant
ed early in the spring are now show
ing the results of labor and interest
taken In them. Among the gardens
that are attracting unusual attention
is that of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Seckne,
of Eleventh and Madison Streets. Mr
and Mrs. Sechne came to the United
States from Slavonia ten years ago
and five years ago purchased the lit
tle house on Madison Street. The build
ing is one of the oldest in the city,
and was at one time the primary room
of the old Oregon City school building,
where now stands the Barclay school.
The house was renovated Borne time
before the arrival of the Secknes In
Oregon City, and rented from time to
time, until it became a dllipidated
building, and the grounds were cov
ered with weeds. This Slavonian man
and his wife decided to purchase the
property. They at once commenced to
clear the two lots of weeds, and the
house was again renovated, porches
being built, and the building given
two coats of paint. Immediately there
was a change In the appearance of the
place. Then gardens were laid out
and the parking planted to rose bush
es of beautiful varieties. As the roses
grew, many new varieties were secur
ed by grafting by Mrs. Seckne, who
has become an expert. There was no
ground wasted. Seeds were purchased
and after the ground had been pre
pared they were planted, and eacb
year since the first planting these in
dustrious people have been able to
raise their own seed, thus saving the
expense of buying the seed. This
year's seeds are greater than In any
year, and Mrs. Seckne displayed a
bunch of beet seed that would be
enough to furnish Oregon City.
in tne rront yard tnere are 18 to
mato plants that are a wonder, and
claimed by many who have seen them
to be the most profloic in the city, if
not in the county. From these vines,
Mrs. Seckne says she will harvest
five bushels, and has commenced pick
ing them. The vines are completely
covered with ripe and green tomatoes
Among the plans carried out by the
Secknes is when one piece of the
property is through producing a crop
anouier is planted, giving them all
kinds of vegetables during the season
in one or their parkings extending
along one lot, they harvested seven
sacks of potatoes last year, and it is
Believed by the owners this year that
the crop will be larger. Vegetables
ranging from the carrot and bean to
tne corn will be found in Mrs. Seckne's
